I was in a bar, but even late in the night, I assumed I get one or the other of the two subjects I'm seeing relatively sharp. Took me a few seconds to figure out the issue.

Does anyone have any examples of what this looks like? Does it produce a circular image?

How about when the lens is fully retracted?

Sounds like the advice about the cap...

To think it happened to me... and not just once! 🙂

Oh, well, comes with the territory.
