This is a bit soft but not very shiny.
Going over speed bumps would be interesting, unless they can extend the suspension.

This adorns the front of Rolls Royce cars. From Wikipedia: "also called Eleanor, Silver Lady, or Flying Lady, was designed by Sykes, a graduate of London's Royal College of Art, and carries with it a story about secret passion between Montagu, second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu after 1905, a pioneer of the automobile movement, and editor of The Car Illustrated magazine from 1902, and the model for the emblem, Eleanor Velasco Thornton".
I believe there have been modifications required to make it safer.
The images were originally in 4/3 format. However, with people and cars moving around, there was a man in a yellow shirt in both and a red car in one. So, cropping was essential but was of no loss aesthetically.

I was doing a major sort-out of my lenses when I came across a rather large, unfamiliar one. I had no idea how it got there. Then I checked and found that I bought it 6 months ago but had not picked it up since then.
It has a good reputation among zooms of its time. It is quite heavy but I used a bit of support for this session.
The flower was 50mm dimeter. I set the lens on 90mm at a distance at 2.5 feet to frame the flower as I wanted it. At f11 only this pair, of several, met my satisfaction.

The comment here suggested that I should try this combination.

I am a bit disappointed, although the first images are pleasing.
I was mainly interested in the leaf and berry colors. I'm sure it can do more with fine detail.
