With a mid-1930s Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor 54/2, on Lomo Color 400 film. Not a camera built for color photography really, but it’s kinda nice to use. There’s only one shutter speed (1/60s or so, depends a bit on the current moon phase), three aperture settings (slow, slower, and slowest) and three focus distances (close things unsharp, middle ground unsharp, everything unsharp). So with 400 ISO film one basically sets it to f/22, infinity focus, and then there’s a lot of hoping and shrugging shoulders and in the end the little tin box from last century somehow produces color pictures.

But it *feels* like one just held grandpa‘s lunch box into the sun and then photos came out, so there is some kind of magic to it that a Rolleiflex just doesn’t have. In my mind anyway.
