Re: Sennheiser k6 and capsules me66 me64 me62???

The ME62 is an omni-direction capsule, while the ME64 is cardioid.
Most foley and vocal work benefits from the rear-rejection of cardioid mics, although hyper-cardioid or shotgun mics will give you more control over the apparent accoustics of the recording. For that reason, you should probably opt for the cardiod capsule rather than the omni.
However, if you are currently dissatisfied with the performance of the ME66 in foley and vocal situations, I doubt that a different cap will dramatically improve your results. Basically, you're looking at the same mic without all the off-axis rejection.
If you want to save money by using cheap mics, you probably should be out-sourcing your foley. The cost of the microphones are usually small compared to the cost of building a suitable foley studio, or renovating an existing studio space. Moreover, if you aren't recording enough foley to justify the expense of building and equipping a foley studio, you should probably be out-sourcing your foley. Good foley artists are hard to come by, and foley recording is a very demanding task (in terms of gear, studio space and labour).
