New NX2000 Owner with Legacy Lens questions

Hi all, I just picked up a NX2000 with the 20-50 kit lens.  Many years ago I was a 35mm SLR buff and I have a bunch of legacy stuff.

I see there are adapters that will let me mount my old KR mount lenses on my NX and I understand this setup would be manual only.  My question is how does this affect the lens characteristics?  I.e., if I mount a 50mm f1.8 legacy lens on the NX what would be the effective focal length/speed?

Another question concerns accessories.  Are there drawbacks to using step up rings so I can use existing filters, lens hoods, etc?

Thanks and sorry if I'm covering common ground.
