Abstract
A recent M V −uvbyβ calibration for Galactic luminous F-G supergiants was used to estimate the distance to the Magellanic Clouds from F supergiants. The distance moduli 19.33 ± 0.31 for the SMC and 18.19 ± 0.22 for the LMC are found. The present limitations of using F-G supergiants at distance indicators are discussed
