k3 vs. a7ii would be ovf vs. evf, which for most people is a no-brainer, but you need to evaluate it for yourself.
you have the three amigos? i would definitely hang onto the fa31, at the minimum, it rocks on sony ff.
the fe28 looks like a sharp piece of glass, but it has some pretty serious distortion issues, see the animated gif here: Sony FE 28mm f/2 Astrophotography Review – Lonely Speck
distortion correction lowers resolution across the entire picture frame.

that mamiya is sweet!
if you want a good 200mm prime, take a look at the minolta 200/4.

the sony zoom has oss and a tripod mount, while the pentax lens is not stabilized? if so, it's not a fair weight comparison... both bodies have ibis, so that's not a factor.

you'll have to get an ef adapter with electronic connections if you want to open and close the aperture... i"ll be looking hard at that $98 deal, when i get ready to do it.
there are of course cheap ef adapters for $15... if you can set the aperture with an old canon film body, will the aperture setting be retained by the lens, after it's removed from the body?
i had a samyang 14mm prime, setting infinity focus on it with the k10d ovf was a nightmare... i'd basically have to guess at what perfect focus was, set it, then open up the photo on the computer to verify whether or not i'd actually hit the mark... it took several tries, and the corners never looked quite right.
at the same time, i just got the a7r, which meant no need to worry about setting infinity focus ever, on any adapted lens, and i could finally see just how decentered the samyang 14mm really was... so i sent it back.
i've seen threads(with pics) where people have gotten 3 or 4 samyang/bower/rokinon/ect. 14mm primes in a row, and they were all decentered... so be sure and have a test procedure worked out, before you commit... if you get a good one, it's well worth it.
of course i test every piece of glass that i buy these days, on a ff camera that shows all flaws, and i now know what to look for.
