track down a 1980's era manual focus camera. Minolta, Nikon, Pentax are all great. Canon hadn't quite risen to ascendancy yet, though their cameras are more than adequate.
these cameras are "easy" because they only have three functions for making the photo: Focus, shutter speed, aperture. Each of these three functions are controlled independently of each other, with no nested menus or cryptic Program mode exposure settings (1/13 @ f/6.3?).
The reason I recommend a 1980's camera is because it's widely considered the pinnacle of the manual focus camera. Design, functionality and durability were at all keystones of production. Plus, if you really get lost, most (if not all) of those cameras had at least a shutter priority mode.
