Abstract
We compare a new period-luminosity (PL) relation, derived by the ZAMS- fitting method for 32 cluster and association Cepheids, to the best de termined Baade-Wesselink (BW) PL relation for 100 stars. Eighteen star s in common lead to conclude that BW and ZAMS-fitting distances can ag ree within 0.1 mag, after proper allowance of possible systematic effe cts.
