 Suggest you try one of the modern 50 mm APO enlarging lenses with the 
Focomat I.  Believe the adapter to make the Nikor lens work with the Focomat 
will also provide the right spacing for the APO lenses.  If you can find a 
Focomat Ic, it will solve your filter problems since it is equipped with a 
filter drawer above the lens.

I have used the Focomats for 30 years and they are really fine.
