i just bought this lens the other day and just started to mess with it really tonight. and i noticed what looks like, what i would call, ghosting of the letters on the lens itself.
well more testing is in order then to nail down the issue, not really a whole lot can be determined with this image really. put it on a pod , use a flash to illuminate a target and see if the ghosting is present
yes but you must take into consideration that you are handholding I have seen motion blur do weird things as well as incident light crossing the front element , what f stop was this at . I suppose wide open

the 28 2.8 AF is not the best lens in the line up. It is however a good lens when stopped down. The AIS version is much much better. My 28 AF is nothing more than just a good cheap small "just in case" lens.
Welcome to FM. As mentioned do some more testing. As for this shot the ghosting could be your reflection off the glass on the front surface of the mirror. The silvered mirror surface is on the back of the glass thus the double reflection.
i can see the "ghosting" around the nikon letters and your fingers too. make sure it is not motionblur, can you make the same kind of test with the camera on a tripod or something like that?
well call me stupid but looking at the dust it seems to me that you have a filter on the front of the lens and that the double image you see in the writing there is nothing more than the reflection off the back of the filter.
+1 I think it look like motion blur to me as well, the efix is removed so i cannot see what the shutter speed is but since tyou are inside with out any additional lighting i am going to guess it's slow.
If you look to the left side of me in this picture you can see some "Ghosting" hahaha
This is in the theater district in downtown Houston, looks like a theater mask ghost to all that I have shown it too.

Or it could be something else.
Exactly what I was going to say. You can see similar characteristics when photographing through double-paned glass.
