Using my old flashes with Nikon D5200?

I used to shoot professionally many years ago and still have 3 "potato masher" high power flashes. Is there a module that can be purchased for these Sunpaks ( 622, 522, 555) to use them today with my Nikon D5200 ?

    No TTL module that I know of, but you can still use them all in Auto mode. A Nikon AS-10 PC socket adapter may be required, don't remember if your camera has a PC socket, although I doubt it. Or something similar... not necessary to use the Nikon piece.

    Just use the flashes in manual or non ttl auto mode, they will all work fine on the D5200. In some circumstances the flashes (particularly the 622) built in auto mode operates better than iTTL. You can either use the sensor built into the flash or connect a cabled one onto the cameras hotshoe.
