I am confused a little about your mention of "an article for the introduction of a super rare SMC Reflex Zoom 600-800mm" on two counts: 1. Is this a new article, or is it an old article from the 80's referring to the only Pentax reflex zoom lens (at least so far)? 2. Is it for some new 600-800mm lens, or is it referring to the 400-600/8-12 Reflex Zoom? Perhaps, based upon your mention of being "an excellent lens for flower photo", it is indeed a new lens, because the 400-600/8-12 had (like most long telephotos) a rather long "close"-focus distance (about 10 feet), which is a little far for the usual "flower photo". (And, because of the "doughnut bokeh" of typical mirror lenses, I would think that it might be difficult to use a mirror lens for such images.)
