Let me vent for a moment.
I've always liked window shopping at MPB's website. Their prices are always good and they show you the actual product they're selling. I've bought a ton of Nikon gear from them over the last couple of years as well as several other brands of lenses and accessories. Their site was always simple and easy to navigate and it was so easy to find what I was interested in. There were issues with slow response and the site being down in the past but it was worth putting up with it because it was so simple to shop. Well, that's all changed. MPB has redesigned their website. They've put clean design over customer use. Everything looks clean and uncluttered but I can't find jackspit anymore. I can't magnify the images to inspect the products. It's a maze that's impenetrable for simple minded photographers like myself.
Is it just me or does anyone else have the same issues?

I always prefer simple website designs, much easier to navigate. I always liked KEH’s original list design, now long gone. MPB does seem faster on searches for specific items.
Good gear, I have purchased several items from them.
Need a throw back time machine experience? IgorCamera.com still uses a simple list.

I find it so much easier to use now - I like the redesigned menus, and the MASSIVE speed increase from the Stone Age performance before. I've found all sorts of things I wasn't aware they sold as a result of being able to actually browse without going insane. My only issue is that you have to fiddle about to look at the page for an item - seems to require a double-click whereas single-click produces the Add To Basket icon (which is a bit premature if I haven't seen it properly).
