Michael,
You can mount a standard M39 enlarging lens on a Nikon body with an adapter.
Use extension tubes, bellows, whatever to give you the magnification you
want. I got my adapter from ebay (can't remember the seller now) and it's a
nicely made device. Nikon made an adapter too, but it's probably harder to
find one of those.
