Does your Meade have a microfocusser? If so you will need a 2" / male sct adapter to clamp into it as you would a 2" diagonal
If you don't have a MF it will screw onto the visual back of the LX200

Having said all of that, the 3.3 will not give any good results (serious vignetting)
I tried the 3.3 with my Canon 40D & LX90 10" having bought it firstly to use with my DSI
I went straight out & bought a 6.3 meade reducer which works well

the mounting adapters supplied with the 3.3 have come in handy when using the 6.3 so it hasn't been a total loss
The 40d seems to work well with fittings as follows: canon adapter - t ring - 15mm, 30mm &sct Adapter(as supplied with 3.3) - 6.3 reducer. I'm told the ideal distance between FR & camera body is 105mm, what I have described is 110mm & everything works fine
hope this helps
