Abstract

Photometry was used to study several young LMC clusters and to test the proposition that the IMF of stars in such clusters has a universal shape. The proposition is not proved or refuted here, but it is shown that the very steep IMFs found by Mateo (1989) are not real but probably result from a special aspect of his data reduction.
