We have determined new Cepheid distances on a homogeneous system to nine nearby galaxies with Cepheid observations in the V bandpass, using the extensive calibration of the galactic Cepheid PL(V) relation of Gieren, Barnes & Moffett (1993). Absorption corrections to the observed distance moduli were taken from the RC3 catalog (de Vaucouleurs et al. 1991). For most of the galaxies, the galactic PL(V) relation of GBM gives a very good fit to the Cepheid data.
