Personally I think that this is a very underrated lens.

I think many know this is a very good lens. It's possible its low price makes some assume it must be average.

It has advantages over the s lens version in that it's lighter and less bulky and that it's possible to zoom in and remotely using a smartphone, something you can't do with any other lens.

On top of this it's much cheaper than the s lens.

Currently my s lens is more or less glued to my nx1, however if I want to travel light with my nx500 I'll more often that not attach the pz, as its versatile, and better for video.

Anyone else loving using this lens?

I love it. Very little else on other platforms come close. Nikon 1 6.7-13mm (18-35mm in FF) is great and small but 3x plus in cost. Panasonic 14-42mm MK 2 is maybe closest I've used that is even cheaper (around £80 2nd hand).
