It isn't really magnification, but I understand what you mean. A 50mm lens on a body with an APS-C sensor will deliver a field of view (FOV) similar to a 75 or 77mm lens on a FF DSLR or a 35mm film SLR body. But this can be a good thing, if you are familiar with the cost of such lenses for FF use. A good 50mm lens on APS-C can be like a poor person's FA 77mm Ltd on a FF body. It is a good lens for Portraiture and much else.
As others have said, for the FF 50mm FOV on APS-C, you need a 35mm lens, and I too recommend either the Pentax DA 50mm f/1.8 or for low budget, a used Pentax FA SMC 35mm f/2 which is an exceptional performer for the cost.
28mm is a very interesting FL for APS-C. It has the same FOV as the unique but expensive Pentax FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited lens on a FF body, which is a very useful wide/normal. For this, I have found my now very old FA 28mm f/2.8 performs very well. I also have long had the FA 43mm Ltd bought for my film cameras years ago, and found it to be less interesting for APS-C, only recently to be once again employing it on my FF Pentax K-1 II. The 43mm Ltd is not all that good wide open anyway, so I think you would find the FA 28mm f/2.8 to be satisfying on APS-C as a wide/normal lens, as it is pretty good wide open. Should be able to locate one in fine shape used for a reasonable cost.
Be aware, these AF lenses are designed to optimize AF performance, and do not have the same "feel" for MF as do MF lenses.
