Adaptor Hood Cap

Are these decent macro lenses for my camera?
I have a sony alpha a200 and want to take macro pictures up really close, which the kit lens (18-70mm) cannot achieve that well.
Are these worth it?
Will they be able to get really close up?
Will the quality be ok?
lemme know

If you want to do macro you really have only a few options. there are screw on macro filter lenses that add magnification. there are bellows. there are extenstion tubes there are Reversing Rings and top of the heap are dedicated macro lenses.
Actually you can get some really good results with extension tubes No they are not as easy or sharp as high end macro lenses but they generally give you better results than screw on filter lenses. These are not teleconverters so they rely on optics in the lens you already have. So a quality lens on the end of the tube will give you a much better result than a cheap one on extension tubes. And actually I have seen where people have used macro lenses on some of the shorter extension tubes
As the extension tube moves the minimum focus distance closer you do have some light drop off but not nearly what you do with a teleconverter and you do get shallow depths of field. So if you are autofocusing you may want to tweak that manually to get the focus just where you want it. Modern tubes include couplings for automatic diaphragm, automatic exposure and autofocusing; older tubes may provide fewer or none of these features. The additional extension requires exposure compensation, but this may be handled by the camera's TTL exposure meter.
That said I have never used that brand I do have kenko ones
