Hmm... Every red dot finder I have seen has only one optical element. I have a cheapie, and you do get a very slight double-image - I assume there is a secondary reflection off the second (sky-facing) face of the finder lens, but it's not too disruptive.

I don't suppose it's possible that there's some sort of protective film that's supposed to be removed before use?
