Yes
I would like to buy one of these kits but i don't know why the big price difference. The only thing that I can see that is different is that the one for £23.99 says it is good for the Sony A230 but I have the A200.

This one by the seller says it is for the A200 but is way more expensive.

Am I missing something here? Are the A230 and 200 the same?
Thanks
 
The camera is unimportant, what matters is the filter size on the lens you are trying to attach it to. Looking at the lenses listed in the adverts this would probably be 55mm (the confusing thing is that they list the 50mm lens as being compatible - Sony make three 50mm lenses, two have 55mm filter threads and one has 49mm)

So, the question is what lenses do you have and what is the filter diameter on them. It will be written around the edge on the front of the lens.
 
Yeah, it's all about the thread size. Honestly though I'd be wary of those. To get a decent quality I'd expect a small single filter to start at about £25. At thta price for a set I'd bet good money they'd be awful.
