Wow, that amazes me, given your great skills. You might borrow a 70-200mm to see what you think. The IQ is amazing for a zoom lens and what distortion there is is easily corrected in LightRoom. (I use DxO instead of LR).

At the short end it's good for certain scenics, in the midrange it's a great portrait piece (including cars) and at the long end it's good for wildlife and things far away. Throw a 25mm Extension Tube on it and it's a great macro lens and throw a 1.4x TC on it and it's an even better macro lens.

The tripod/remote thing will certainly work well, just stop down enough to get good DOF.
