I don't really have a single standard setup. There are a few basic 
configurations I find myself gravitating towards, though:

Really light: OM-4, 50/1.4
This is my walk-around setup. If I know I'll be in bright conditions I'll 
sometimes replace the 50/1.4 with the 35-70/4

Medium light rev A: OM-4, 24/2, 50/1.4, 100/2
Speed and quality...

Medium light rev B: OM-4, 28-48/4, 100-200/5
Lots of flexibility, small and light (either lens can go in my pocket, so I 
dont even need a bag). Great for a walk in the park or zoo. Sometimes I'll 
throw in a 50/1.8 if I think I might need the speed.

Not light: OM-4, OM-1/winder 2, 24/2, 50/1.4, 100/2, 65-200/4 or 200/4, T32, 
BG2, 7mm, 14mm and 25mm extension tubes
When I don't know what I'll be needing. It all fits in one bag, and I'm ready 
for pretty much anything.

If I know I'll be doing mostly flash I'll take an OM-2n instead of the OM-4 
(need to justify those OM-2n's!) I find the OM-2n pretty much the equal of the 
OM-4 for this

Ok, this was really just an exercise for me to justify all this stuff to 
myself.
