If it's not the SR going crazy Like P.J. suggested, then I'd say you
have a loose lens element in the lens. That picture reminds me of a
lens I partially took apart to clean the diaphragm blades, and then
couldn't remember the correct sequence for the rear 3 elements. I
tried various combinations, and the least crap one (though incorrect)
produced photos like that.
