The Nikon FM was a well made and extremely popular mid range single lens reflex camera produced in Japan between 1977-82. See the history of this camera model here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_FM

It has an electronic exposure meter so is easy to use even if you have little experience of using film (*coin-type battery not included*) and it comes with a good fast Nikon 50mm f1.8 prime lens that can be used for variety of subjects. 

Takes normal 35mm black and white or colour film which is not included with rental.

This is a working vintage Imperial 'Good Companion' typewriter, probably made in the 1930s as it has a George V crest on it (reigned 1910-1936). It has a red and black ribbon fitted already and has an original box. 

Great for a period prop for films or making interesting manual typed letters. It has featured in several music videos over the years!

NOTE: It is a very old piece of machinery so it must be handled carefully. You will not be able to type at speed as the hammers will get stuck and the impression will vary.

This is the very first version of the auto focus 50mm lens that was first produced in 1986.

If used on a Fujifilm camera with the K&F adapter the auto focus does not function. 

Great for portraits, the 50mm focal length used on a crop sensor (77mm full frame equivalent) combined with the wide maximum aperture produces very narrow depth of field (= crazy bokeh).

I also have a 1980 Nikon FM film camera this lens can be rented with instead of the mount, see my other listings.

A very compact medium wide angle lens (full frame equivalent 28mm) with great image quality ideal for street photography, architectural work and landscape shots with a lot of foreground.

Manufacturer's listing:

Compact and lightweight "Pancake" type.
Using glass-mold aspheric lenses at the 5th and 7th elements, is effective to in increasing the maximum aperture (5th element) and reducing the overall thickness of the lens (7th element).
The final element, positioned as closely to the sensor as possible, makes the incidence angle of light reaching the sensor smaller, and reduces vignetting and color shading, while helping to keep the lens's overall size small.

This is a medium length prime lens (equivalent to full frame 89mm on crop sensor) and is ideal for portraiture and general medium telephoto applications. It was likely manufactured in the Valdai factory in the USSR between 1974-82. 

It comes with a K&F M42 to Fujifilm XF mount adaptor so you can put it on your Fujifilm camera straightaway. It is a vintage lens so there is no autofocus function. 

This is the Soviet era lens which can be used to create the famous swirly bokeh effect, google the name of the lens to see some examples and how exactly to achieve this look.
