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.

How I burned nearly 5 rolls of 36-exp. film in three days and still made
about 1000 miles per day, without any speeding tickets, during the recent
2nd Annual Great Road Trip:
During the trek homeward, I put the OM-4 with 35-105 mounted on it in the
middle of the back seat along with a body cap, lens back cap, 135/2.8,
24/2, and lens hoods for the 35-105 and 24/2. Stored extra film in a small
box in the cargo net inside the trunk. Made it very easy to grab the
camera and start shooting. Didn't shoot through the car window
either. Usually hiked a short distance to get a decent composition and/or
rid it of man-made "clutter" found around roadways (e.g. signs, power
lines, etc.). Only needed to use the 135/2.8 and 24/2 a couple of
times. The 35-105 was able to do nearly everything.
