CCD photometry in B and V reaching B(lim) ≃ 25 has been employed to obtain the luminosity function and color-magnitude diagram for the main sequence of 47 Tuc. For 5<Mv<10 we find that its LF is essentially flat (Δlog n/Δm~0). The CMD is successfully matched by isochrones with [Fe/H] = −0.5 and t ≃ 15 × 109y.
