Elastic and inelastic {pi}{sup {plus minus}} scattering by {sup 206}Pb has been studied to measure the isospin character of transitions to bound states. The data have been interpreted using both distorted wave impulse approximation and optical model potentials. The data for the collective states at 2.647 MeV (3{sup {minus}}) and 4.111 MeV (2{sup +}) are well reproduced with {delta}{sub {ital l}}{sup +}={delta}{sub {ital l}}{sup {minus}}={delta}{sub {ital l}}{sup {ital p}}, i.e., assuming that these transitions are isoscalar. For the 0.803-MeV, 2{sup +} level we deduce {ital M}{sub {ital n}}/{ital M}{sub {ital p}}=2.6{plus minus}0.3 which is in excellent agreement with a value obtained from inelastic heavy-ion scattering.
