Radiative lifetimes of 6 levels belonging to the 4f5(6Hdeg, 6Fdeg)5d configuration of Sm III have been measured for the first time using a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. Experimental data have been compared with semi-empirical calculations. The agreement is excellent for 4 levels with 6Fdeg as a parent term. Larger discrepancies (53 and 37%) are observed for 2 levels with 6Hdeg and 6Fdeg, respectively, as a parent term and are explainable by strong mixing and cancellation effects occurring in the line strength calculations which are responsible of ``instabilities'' occurring in the lifetimes considered as a function of J value within the term. Branching ratios for the lines depopulating the levels of interest have been measured by Fourier transform spectroscopy. A first set of oscillator strengths has been deduced for this ion.
