It depends on what you need from it. There are two options I'd recommend at very different price points.
If you are shooting video, or manual photography then the Fotodiox adapter is great, well made but simple, and works without issue for a great price:

If you are wanting to use autofocus however, you'll need to look at the much more expensive Metabones adapters. http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB-EF-E-BT4
Just a word of warning though, the AF features are never going to work like they would on a Canon body. AF always works best with native glass.
So you want an ultrawide zoom? Aside from Sony's offering, I think the only other route you could go with that budget is a used Canon EF 10-18mm and EF-to-E adapter. As a warning: there is no guarantee the adapter will always work as-intended. Since they're basically reverse-engineering Canon's system to work with Sony's, things like autofocus might be slower, stabilization may or may not work, and aperture control might not work.
I actually sold my 10-18mm to a Sony E user, and he tested it on this particular adapter (he sent me the link since I was curious), and he said it has worked perfectly and it wasn't the first lens he's used with it. Your mileage may vary, if you go this route.
Here is the one I have, like 50 bucks.
Canon to sony e-mount

l bracket I am using 15 bucks:

I use these to adapt my tripods and I have one with a nylon webbing for rock climbing as a sling over the shoulder strap. again 15 bucks

Hey there! My a6300 will be here Monday. It's my upgrade from my (5 years of use) t3i! I've been wanting an a7s / a7s ii ever since they were released but the a6300 seems like a much better option right now as my budget is even lower than yours. I purchased this adapter and I will be using it with a Rokinon 14mm, 35mm, and 85mm until I can afford a Sony 50mm f/1.8 and Sony Zeiss 16-70 f/4.
I will be testing this camera out Tuesday with my setup and can let you know my thoughts if I remember!
Extras: Instead of purchasing Sony lenses in the future, I may purchase Sigmas new adapter and invest in a line of sigma lenses. If I had $1500 left like you, I'd sell my t3i, my lenses, purchase that adapter when it is available, and purchase sigma lenses. Here is a great video of the new sigma adapter.
here is for the cheap adapters. this does not allow any use of auto focus or in lens stabilization. Thisone does support all the lens features. although the auto focus doesn't always work depending on the lens.
/u/AlexStelma - a third option might be to trade your 5D Mark III for a [$3998CDN Sony A7r II] (https://www.amazon.ca/ILCE7RM2-Full-Frame-Mirrorless-Interchangeable-Camera/dp/B00ZDWGFR2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20) [Referral Link] plus a [$109.99CDN EF to E mount adapter] (https://www.amazon.ca/Fotodiox-EF-Sny-Adapter-EOS-E-Mount/dp/B00D9BKLX8//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20) [Referral Links] for your Canon glass.
The Sony has a 42.4 MP still image sensor (compared to your Canon's 22.3 MP sensor) and can produce still images that look like [this] (https://www.flickr.com/groups/2850214@N24/pool).
Plus, with 5-axis in-body stabilization, the A7r II can produce handheld content that looks like this (and cost you less because 1) you won't need to buy a stabilizer and 2) you don't need to pay the extra money for stabilized lenses):
Slow Motion
This camera will give you: slow motion frame rates up to 1080/120p (the 5D Mark III is limited to 1080/30p and 720/60p), a viewfinder that actually works while you're recording video (the 5D Mark III's viewfinder is blocked by the mirror) and a tilting LCD (the 5D Mark III's LCD is fixed).
A very good value for your money.
Hope this is helpful, good luck with branching out into video and best of the holidays to your and yours!
This is the one I have. No CA links. If your local camera shop has the lens and adapter in stock I would run by there and test it out first.

> Canon EF 75-300mm
A crap lens to begin with, definitely worse than your 55-210.
> EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Basically a worse version of your 16-50.
> Canon EF 85mm f/1.8
Excellent if you want to do portraits. You need an adapter to fit that (and the others) on your camera. It just attaches to your camera like a lens, and allows Canon lens to fit. You want a EF (or EOS) to E mount (or NEX) adapter. They vary in price quite a bit based on if you want autofocus or not, as well as build quality.
You need something like this, this, or this. If you don't care about autofocus and only want to use the 85 (again the other 2 are worse versions of what you have), this or this would work just as well.
I haven't tried that lens / camera combination myself, but there is a chance autofocus is slow / inaccurate enough to be borderline unusable, so you'd have to manual focus.
That comparable lens in a Sony mount is around $600, which would likely be somewhat sharper, but quite a bit quicker and more accurate autofocus. You could also get a lens that does something similar for about $250.
There is no good cheap adapter. You can have good or cheap but not both.
Bad (no autofocus or aperture control) + cheap ($15): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VVZ4A8G/
Okay (aperture control, AF works decent on many lenses) but a little expensive ($100): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D9BKLX8
Good (works a little better on more lenses) but expensive ($400): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716RHXRB/
I strongly advise you to sell the Canon lens and buy an equivalent Sony lens. Continuing to use Canon glass on a Sony body is going to give you endless frustration. You can get a
Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 for $350ish new if you buy grey market or as low as $240 used.
Even with a top of the line Metabones adapter, you're going to have issues with autofocus speed and reliability. It's really not worth using adapters unless you have a significant collection of glass already or the lens to need just doesn't exist on Sony.
Plus as others have said, that lens is crop and your body is full frame. The Canon lens is worth more to you as cash towards a Sony lens than it is as a lens.
