This is still what I use.
My first OM was an OM-2n and I shot with a Vivitar 90-230mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom
and also later a Vivitar 28-90mm f2.8-3.5 zoom. When I finally started
noticing the difference in image quality people were getting with primes I
changed over to a 28-50-135 setup and recently replaced my third party 28
and 135 with Zuikos. I still feel like it's a pretty powerful combination
of lenses for most applications. Although I recently saw a lens like my old
Vivitar 90-230mm on the nameless auction site for $14 and couldn't resist
the urge to buy it. It's about like I remember it. I took my old one to
dozens of concerts in the late 70's. As much concert funk as it absorbed
I'm amazed it never sprouted fungus.
This brings up a question, though (and one that has probably been discussed
to death, so forgive me). What do most of you carry as a "standard" compact
setup and for what kind of photography? I'm just curious.

The standard that many people employ is the $$$ standard. Which is why I
originally ended up with 28-50-135. Can't get any cheaper than that.
Mathematical progressions don't figure into this equation :>)
