Through use of multiband (U, B, R, I) photometry we have isolated highredshift (3.0 L* luminosity function for z = 3-5galaxies obtained by a photometric redshift analysis of the Hubble Deep Field(HDF) by Gwyn & Hartwick (1996). Our results at R ~ 23 are more consistent withthe photometric redshift analysis of the faint HDF galaxies by Sawicki & Yee(1996), but our present upper limits at the brightest magnitudes (R < 21.5,M(R) < -24) allow more generous volume densities of these super-L* galaxies.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ Letters; 14 pages Latex, including 3 figure
