Hi
It's true it could be dangerous to use old/un current flashes for this
camera. Anyway, please notice, that the shoe of the PZ-1 is slightly
different from the usual design. There has to be a small rectangular
"cut-away" in front of the metal plate, that goes into the camera hotshoe.
Regards
Jens

For almost all my photography with my Photogenic Flashmaster setup
(antique) I use the Pentax IR Remote system on cameras that have a hot
shoe, or, like on my digital camera which has none, I tape a simple
remote flash sensor in front of the built in flash, covering the built in
flash in the process.
Note though: I have used the system directly on my LX and Bronica ETRsi,
and on some of my old lenses with shutters for my 8 x 10 Deardorf. Oh,
and the Speed Graphic too.
