I don't know anything about step up rings but I can inform you that any SLR lens you put an NX camera gets a 1.5 times longer focal length and 1.5 times slower aperture. Hence your 50mm F1.8 becomes a 75mm F2.7. Have fun with your old glass!

It gets 1.5 longer FL regarding field of view only and F2.7 regarding depth of field only. However, F1.8 remains F1.8 regarding the exposure. That means, you will get the same exposure with this lens both on an APS-C and a full frame camera.
