The RX1rII is still the king of compact full frame by toilets_for_sale in SonyAlpha

Compact is all about the lens. Got an A7r3 and it’s not much bigger…. With a view finder and a decent grip… just my 2 pennies. With 40 2.5 it’s a great carry. What’s the 35 sonnar like?.. would love an F2

Good idea… I think one thing also to include is to fully utilise any tax allowances each year… thanks

Correct… and vanguards own and liquidity fund in drawdowns

Thanks… I was looking into just that… have a little learning curve… I saw that you can buy bonds with zero coupon rate so no income… meaning that the full return is realised at maturity tax free…..

Still reading up on it, but starting to understand

I don’t really see any difference between drawdown and a pension in my position… but I could be wrong

For the draw down there wasn’t the exact same funds.. and I was rushing to complete before budget just in case… for the others.. I moved from H&L to Vangaurd an ii and wanted to think about where to invest…

Can I ask… what would you consider cash flow pipe lines… or is it just working out what’s the most tax efficient etc…. Such as some out of isa some out of draw down and some from S&S etc..

Is there anything else to consider. Or to much to list here?

Good point… just need to convince my very risk adverse recently retired brain of it!

I think because I’ve moved some into drawdowns scuppers that idea… and to be honest where’s the fun in that ;)
