Isotope shifts in the 623.7 nm line of Pb I have been measured. Then, in a spectral range of 
nm the optical isotope shifts in 24 lines of neutral and singly ionized lead have been analyzed using a combined model-independent method. From the combination of the optical isotope shifts data with elastic electron scattering, muonic X-ray and electronic Kα X-ray data, we were able to determine the two contributions to the total isotope shift, namely the mass and the
field shifts, and to obtain the values of several nuclear factors for a long chain of lead isotopes.
