It certainly isn't a Bushnell!

Lots of comments in these Amazon reviews http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B00GMWR134

Hi, I bought a similar monocular secondhand from a local website. It looks exactly the same, and has "Bushnell 16x52 66m/8000m" written on it, which is pretty meaningless. By the objective focusser, it says "Day and Night 18 degrees". I think the mag is about 12x, really, and the objective lens is about 42mm. There was a box with it, that also bore the Bushnell logo. On amazon, there´s an identical monocular bearing the name "Daditong" rather than Bushnell, but with a similar box. Mine came with a nylon case. The two focussing rings had me confused, too...they both seem to focus normally, so I´ve no idea why there are two, although an advantage is that you can choose to focus with one or other hand. There´s no zoom though. Does your one really magnify to 36x?
The surprising thing is that the optics and build are pretty good, easily sufficient for my purposes, which was as a handy monocular for walking with the kids or the dog. I had it at the Cliffs of Moher two weeks ago, and because I couldn´t angle my Nikon ED50 downwards to the stacks below, the little monocular was fantastic hand-held for lying on the grass at the clifftops and looking down at the nesting puffins; very bright and clear in the sweet spot. The kids loved it.

Sirs,
i bought a Bushnell 36x52 for personal use(pic below) and I don't know why there exists two focus:Objective focus and eye piece focus. I thought Objective focus is to zoom and then find the right focus with eye piece zoom.But it doesn't seem to be working in this way.Anyone with a similar model know what to do?

I have found that many monoculars are half a binocular and it is cheaper for the factory to use existing parts so the eyepiece focus is what would be the dioptre adjustment on a binocular. If left in the middle position it can be ignored and the focus can be set by using the front lens ring.
