We derive new effective radii and total magnitudes for 5 E and S0 galaxies inthe Leo-I group from wide-field CCD images. These are used in conjunction withrecent literature velocity data to construct the fundamental plane (FP) of theLeo-I group. The rms scatter that we find is only 6 % in distance. The zeropoint of this relation provides a calibration of the FP as a distance indicatorand directly determines the angular diameter distance ratio between the Leo-Igroup and more distant clusters. In the language of Jerjen and Tammann (1993)we determine a cosmic velocity of the Leo-I group of 757+-68 km/s relative tothe Coma cluster, or 796+-57 km/s relative to a frame of 9 clusters. Combiningthis velocity with the Cepheid distance to M96, a member of Leo-I, we find theHubble constant to be H_0=67+-8 km/s/Mpc or H_0=70+-7 km/s/Mpc for each case.The distance we obtain for the Coma cluster itself (108+-12 Mpc) is in goodagreement with a number of other recent estimates.
