We present the 3.4 µm field galaxy luminosity function as measured by WISE back to redshift z=0.7. Our primary source of redshifts is an optical spectroscopic survey of W1 selected objects that yielded 219 redshifts for sources with 3.4 µm flux >= 80 µJy. We show both Schecter function fits to the luminosity function and non-parametric V/Vmax based estimates. Lastly, we utilize several large public redshift databases to perform parallel luminosity function measurements that we compare and then merge after removing the biases relative to a 3.4 µm selected survey.
