The Classic Three-Lens Kit

Back in the day before zooms were any good, the basic SLR kit consisted of the body of your choice, a 50mm "normal" lens (usually with a fast maximum aperture), a 28mm "wide angle" lens, and a 135mm "medium telephoto" lens.

 

The kit pictured above would have been typical in the late 1960s into the early 1970s. While it is unlikely that all the elements would could have been purchased together new (the Super-Takumar 55/1.8 is older than the Spotmatic II body and either of the other two lenses), the flavor is the same.
