I am the kind of person that can never get close enough so I wanted to buy a close up kit.

I have see many for around 60-80 bucks. I also just saw this one on ebay and was wondering if quality of the lens is a big concern here. This one on ebay is made by Kalimar? Should I go cheap with this one or will I pay for it in quality?

Here is the filter I am considering

I generally dont recommend close up kit filters. Too much glass in front of the lens always leads to bad optics. one filter at a time is alright, but after you add one and another your image quality goes down the tube real quick. You might be better off to get as close as you can with your camera as it is and zoom in after the fact.

I'm pretty sure your S200, if that's the camera you're looking to get the kit for, won't accept any filters or lenses natively. I'm not sure if there are lens adapters for it, but you'd I'm pretty sure you'd need one to put any kind of lenses or filters on that camera. I'd recommend researching this a bit more before buying, and certainly see if anyone with some experience with that camera can help you out.
