New measurements in several photometric systems, Johnson U BV, Cousins V RI and near-IR J H K L are presented for stars in the extremely young open cluster NGC 6611. Individual values of R, the ratio of total to selective extinction, were derived for the interstellar material in the direction of the OB-type stars. Many of them are larger than the value usually accepted for the normal interstellar medium (R = 3.1). The log luminosity/solar luminosity vs. log T(eff) diagram is compared with the theoretically calculated one by Maeder (1981), showing that the luminous stars lying close to the top of the main sequence are in the core He burning phase.
