Are you saying you want the same angle of view/magnification?
If so the multiplier is 1.53 / 1.54 (ish).
So, 50/1.54 = 33
The nearest would be a 35mm lens.

If you want an equivalent field of view to a 50mm lens on film, on a Pentax DSLR you will need a lens of between 30 and 35mm. The DAL 35mm f/2.4, DA limited 35mm f/2.8 and FA limited 31mm f/1.8 are the best options from the current line-up.

Many Sigma lenses also fit Pentax cameras. The 30/1.4 or the new 35/1.4 are excellent choices too
