Taking Close up's

[Sony_SoFar]

I really like looking at other forum members close ups of insects/ wildlife so much so that I want to have a go. I have just purchased a Sony alpha 200 with a kit lens the rest of the standard kit boxed all in mint condition for a steal at £160!!
But The 18-70 / 3.5-5.6 isn't great for close ups, and my dad has a 28-200 / 3.8-5.6 macro which I've also tried but I didn't get great results.
So what lenses do you posters use?

Any help is good help I have about £90 for a lens

I have spotted these, any good?

Get a Raynox DCR-250 or 150, and pop it on the front of your kit lens or dad's zoom - £40 from Amazon.

These are the kind of results you'll get, about 18,000 of them! http://www.flickr.com/groups/raynoxdcr250/

Nice photos, like the rain drop with roses'?' inside them very nice. Are they a universal fit? and how do they work exactly?
