But I'm not much of a faith discusser.
There are very few things that would require minutes to charge that aren't part of a time constant in a circuit, in other words any circuit that is power or control related will generally have negligible if any delay related to the electrical charging of components other than in the case of rechargeable battery devices. I would be extremely surprised if there was any kind of battery or supercap integrated in the SDM circuitry of any Pentax lens (and from what I've seem of the occasional one broken down on the web they contain nothing of the sort). I wonder if the techs comments are due to some kind of gross language translation error?
