GH2 Merlin Steadicam B-cam Quandary - Need Help!

QUESTION ONE
GH2, 14mm f2.5 on a Steadicam Merlin for my moving shots.
Yes it'll never be as smooth as a proper vest and arm rig,
but it's all I can afford. Besides I've seen some pretty
smooth 5D Merlin shots, so why not the GH2?

I'm hoping the autofocus and face recog sys will assist as the subject and cam move?

Anyone have any experience with this set up?
Any advice? Thank you much.

QUESTION TWO
Also, any particular settings to match AF and the GH?

QUESTION THREE
You have an AF100 and a voigtlander 25mm f.95, nikon 50mm f1.8 85mm f1.4,
but you don't have a follow focus and you want to shoot objects moving (not laterally
at the same focal distance) but advance and retreat.

I'm going to do some deep focus test shots, probably focus the voigt to infinity and see what I
can get away with. But perhaps some chaps out there have done this test already and can share
some knowledge?

Appreciate all the help!
