Hi Jody, Welcome back. We certainly did miss you. The problem with your LX wasn't really a problem. You just had the shutter speed dial set to "A," aperture priority mode. When you depressed the shutter release, you heard the shutter open but it never closed because it wasn't getting any light with the lens cap on. That's why it wouldn't wind on. As soon as you took the lens cap off, the meter calculated that it had enough light, and closed the shutter. Then you were able to wind on. Paul Stenquist
