Ian,
I have a recommendation for your K64.
Let me preface a bit. After my mother passed away in 2004, my
father gave to me for safe keeping his collection of color
transparencies dating from my parents' honeymoon in 1952 to around 1958
based on the oldest image I can find of myself and two sisters. All were
taken with a Spartus 35 and when he got the focus right (zone focus I
think) it made pretty sharp images. About 95% are Kodachrome and they
still look amazingly good despite being stuck in a shoe box on the
closet floor for a long time. Can't say the same for the Anscochrome
slides which have faded to near oblivion.
I have cleaned and remounted all (PEC 12 is amazing stuff), had
them scanned, and am now in the process of cleaning them up in PS to
give to my sisters by Christmas. After spending hours with these images,
I can't tell you how much I treasure these images of my parents when
they were in their 20's and of me and my sisters when we were little
tykes.
So my advice is load up that K64 and take as many images as you
can of spouse, parents, grandparents, offspring and siblings. Don't
forget your cousins, aunts and uncles. The neighbor kids are fair game
too.
Charlie

Subject: [OM] Inspiration needed - totally on topic
I have a four rolls of kodachrome 64 which I need to use up in the next
two weeks so I can send them off for free processing before the end of
the year.
With digital I can snap away happily, but with film I need a subject
more worthwhile, any ideas? - all photos will be taken with olympus film
camera's
