We present preliminary measurements of the bJ and K-band luminosity functions (LFs) of field galaxies obtained from optical and K-band imaging of a sample of galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The bJ LF is consistent with that previously published from photographic data. The K-band LF has been estimated over a range of 12 magnitudes and is reasonably well fit by a Schechter function with faint-end slope α = −1.2.
