Is there a better way to navigate the Pentax Photo Gallery?

Is it just me, or is the PPG the worst designed photography site on the planet?

Is there a non-Flash version of the site? The way each page loads is so slow that I usually give up after only a few minutes of browsing.

Thanks!

Edit: I just tried the site on my work computer and found it is much better here. It might be the browser I'm using at home (Chrome) that doesn't play well with the PPG. I will have to check it using other browsers when I get home!

It's a flash-only site, and does require a somewhat powerful computer to render properly. We'll be setting up a PPG here on our site within the next couple month, and trust me, it won't be made in flash

What do you mean, Adam? A mirror site of the original? Or a competing gallery with the same principle? Or something completely different?

Hey Adam,

Yeah, I've got a good computer - MacBook Pro. I tested this at home and found that Firefox did the trick better than Chrome. It's still a slow-ish Flash site, but not as bad as I was originally experiencing.

I’ll have to try that. The PPG site is pretty much unusable using Safari on a 1 y.o. Macbook.

Chrome definitely does not work correctly at PPG. Try Firefox or (gasp) IE. Renders like it should with those browsers.

Firefox works fine but I've now discovered the best browser for viewing PPG is Opera. Give it a try if you're on a Mac and having trouble viewing the gallery - it works great.
