It wouldn't be a Campy crank.
I'm think something like the
Grand Cru from Velo Orange.
Also what cassette are you running in the back?

1. Campagnolo also sells 50-40-30 triple cranks
I used to use it alot when I was running the triple but after i got the compact not so much.
I wouldn't mind the 30-40-50 but I couldn't find one at a good price. And since they aren't made anymore and chainrings costing what they do I decided to go another way.
I did try to install a 39 on my triple for a 30-39-52 but the chainring in combination with the triple FD wouldn't allow the shift down to the 30 (probably why they have the 50t) and the shift between the 39 and 52 wasn't anything to write home about so I ditched that idea.
You can see the overlap using
Sheldons gear calculator and someone posted a new one here
http://www.kstoerz.com/gearcalc/compare/ that looks good with a visual representation.

I do have to agree with that, in both the 34 and 50.
