Here we present fundamental parameters (masses, spectral classifications, rotational velocities) obtained from a combination of spectroscopic and photometric orbital solutions for the O-type binary systems HD 152248, HD 149404, and HD 135240. We also present estimated masses derived from theoretical single star evolutionary tracks for these same stars. In all cases the evolutionary masses are larger than those derived from observations.
