Newbie posting!

Hi all, I have a Sigma SD15, had it since new. I really haven't ever used it, at least not consistently, but in recent weeks I have rediscovered it and am using it to shoot my son's hockey, using an 18-50mm lens. I have a 28-70mm UC lens, but found that it must have been damaged in our move and it isn't working on auto (altho fine and smooth on manual). I am looking for a used replacement of this, or anhything really up to 200mm. I couldn't find anything in the for sale forum here, nor ebay. Are used lenses for Sigma really this hard to find, or am I simply looking in the wrong places? I have heard that a few different make cameras have the same attachment, so lenses are interchangeable. Does any other make share the Sigma fitting?

Also, I am beginning to realize that the fully automatic mode on this camera isn't as "fully automatic" as with some other cameras. My sister seems to simply put her Nikon to "green" and seems to shoot pretty decent pics under almost all conditions, whereas the SD15 doesn't even have a "green" mode. As I am pretty much a newbie, are there any tips that I should know for using my SD15?

Thanks!
