I wanted to share this with you guys. :D Thought you might find it funny.
Modern ancient digital folding camera. (http://photographeronbudget.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/modern-ancient-digital-folding-camera.html)

That's cool. The reason the file is only opening as a small image is because it's actually a RAW file, not a regular TIFF file, and if you open it in a program that can't decode the RAW it will only open the small jpeg preview embedded in it. You need to download Capture One from Phase One's website, it's free if you're using it with a digital back.

Looks and reads as a Hasselblad back, that's not going to open Capture One. Phocus is a free download:

It clearly says H101 in the tags under the post, that's a Phase One back with an H-mount.

I stand corrected, thank you.

Thank you for the comments guys. Yes it is a Phase One H101, which is obviously a Hasselblad fit. My plan was/is to use this on a Fuji GX680 but I'm still missing the right adapter and the Kapture Group OneShot box. If anybody has them for sale cheap (or if anybody figured out an alternative) I'll be more than willing to take a serious look.
I would have used this in Two-Shot mode, using manual primes with bellows, but I MUST imitate a shutter for black calibration otherwise I only get black images. I also need to figure out how to trick my Fuji into firing without the film back. I have a DCB II back with adapter (no power box, I'll buy that too if you have it), and when it's mounted, the Fuji cannot realise there's something mounted because there is no darkslide being pulled out. Therefore, the green LED keeps blinking and the camera won't release.
The autographic "Kodak No. 1A Pocket Kodak, Series II" allowed me to use its "Diomatic No 0" shutter to time an exposure using T mode and this is how I made sure the thing at least works.
Anybody any ideas?

One other problem is that the iBook I used is dying and won't always work. My other option is to use a Firewire card on a windows PC. This is possible with Capture One. Capture One is a MUST to process .TIF files into larger 11MP JPG's. Apparently my Lightroom 5 won't process these RAWs and will only export the small preview file.
Any ideas here too?

Hey guys! Sorry if the link above has been offline for the last couple days. My Android Blogger app reverted it to an old draft and deleted the existing content in the process.
I've re-written and published the post back now. Please note what a smartphone Blogger app does in case you use that thing.
In other news, I know how to fire the Fuji GX680 without a back now (film or digital). It simply needs to be set to Multi (multiple exposure). In this case the system ignores its own safely procedures and fires the shutter and mirror regardless of the condition of the back. This is actually the setting you would use if you had ANY digital back on this camera (thanks Siebel for letting me know!)
I hope this is helpful to anyone.
