Which flash

[adrian5127]

I have a 40d and looking to add a flash to my meagre setup. What is the difference between the following flashes 220 ex, 430 ex and 430 ex II. The 580 is out of my price range.

I am a complete novice with anything other than a pop up flash. I am looking for something to get started with and act as a slave if I require it at a later stage.

Can anyone recomend a lead so I can use it off camera.

Thanks
