I think I wanted it just because they were cool, which they were. they had an ad where it froze a bullet with the 1/4000 shutterspeed.
Why, there are indeed people who actually make such pictures. They shoot the gun in absolute darkness, then use a special flash that only gives light for a millionth of second.

When I began adding Canon to the mix, my priority switched to glass. Canon had the 65mm super macro, no equivalent in Nikon glass, so needed Canon body.
Nikon never bothered to make such a piece of glas because you can just use a regular macro lens, like the AF 60mm f2.8 micro, on a bellows, like the PB-5.
Theres of course also extension rings, too.
You cannot use an AF-S 60mm f2.8 micro, because on a bellow or extension ring there arent any electronic contacts.
AFAIK the 65mm from Canon is also all manual, though.
The glas thats actually unique for Canon is their tilt/shifts, which are superior to the Nikon ones, and of course their 50mm f1.0, 50mm f1.2, and 85mm f1.2, all with (slow) autofocus.
