I there anyway to get a slave flash to work with my Pentax mx-1?

I like to use my Pentax af-360fgz flash with Pentax mx-1. But I see no option for a slave flash on my mx-1

You'll need an optical slave that can ignore P-TTL preflashes. I don't think the Pentax branded flashes have that, as they don't generally need it. Cheap 3rd party flashes like Yonguo or Cactus should work, though.

In the native optical slave mode, it won't ignore the preflash, but it's fast enough to fire for both the preflash and main flash. I found it works for the AF-360FGZii, not sure if it works for the AF-360FGZ.
