Don, in your language - as well as mine - the word objektive means
lens. In
Danish a lens (linse) is just one (1) lens element. "Objective" as
opposed
to "Ocular".
In English, however, I belive objective means something like Goal.
It also can be used to refer to a point of view that is without
bias. Such as: "It is difficult to have an objective opinion about
the beauty of one's own child".
A magazine reviewer's objective can be to have an objective opinion
about a variety of objectives! (Actually, I don't know if English
uses the term "objective" to refer to lenses much so I guess that's a
stretch).
