[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 174744, member: 9556"] Ok.. a quick update.. i did a rather long test with respect to this ghosting issue... This is all that i tried- with UV filter/ without UV filter D5100 / D7000 with flash / without flash with 105mm / with 35mm So the resutls were quite consistent... the UV filter did not effect the image (more on this at the end) results were duplicated on both cameras at same settings even with the flash there were instances that this occured, you'll see the reason why this was seen as a 'ghost' artifact only on the 105mm & on the 35mm just looked like a blur... so from the above tests, it was quite evident that the ghosting effect was caused only due to a slow shutter speed. most of the images that had this effect were shot at 1/6 sec or 1/4 sec... interestingly, due to the 1:1 magnification & the superior quality of this lens, it was captured as a reflection than just a blur. a blur was produced as well, but at further lower shu8tter speeds. with the UV filter though, if you do pixel peep, there seemed to be a slightly greater ghosting effect.. ever so slightly more, it would be hard to recognise with the naked eye, but it does exist.
