The period-luminosity (PL) relation zero-point determination from Hipparcos trigonometric parallaxes of Cepheids is contentious. It is shown that the method used by Feast & Catchpole is equivalent to a standard minimization of sum of squares, and that it is free of Lutz-Kelker bias. The same technique is applied to RR Lyrae and field HB star data, the PL relation being replaced by a luminosity-metallicity relation.
