Introduction

Removing the top cover of the camera is the first step in many servicing jobs. It gives the user direct access to the shutter dial, speed resistor and frame counter mechanism.

Any disassembly of the LX body will compromise the weather sealing. New seals must be reapplied during final reassembly to restore weather proofing.
