We present Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions for four ellipticals and one S0-Galaxy in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, derived from CCD photometry in V and I. The averaged turnover magnitudes are VTO = 23.80 ± 0.06 and ITO =22.39 ± 0.05, respectively. We derive a relative distance modulus (m-M)Fornax - (m-M)ₘ₈₇ = 0.08 ± 0.09 mag using the turnover of M87 based on HST data.
