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.

originally ended up with 28-50-135. Can't get any cheaper than that.
Mathematical progressions don't figure into this equation :>)
