Experiments on the transition fields to the normal conducting state were made on single crystals of Ta, Nb, and V in the temperature range between 40 mK and the transition temperature. In tantalum results are presented on the thermodyanmic quantities T/sub c/, ..mu../sub 0/H/sub c/(T), D(t), and ..gamma.. in the clean limit and as a function of impurity concentration at low impurity levels (>0.15 at %). Special attention is paid to the phase transition between type I and type II superconductivity, which occurs at a certain conversion temperature T*
