Or should that be the worse? Could make a good case either way I think. 
 

I’ve missing my M8 ever since I sold it to buy a monochrom late last year and when the opportunity came up to buy one with a shutter issue at 8000th for £650, well, here we are. 
 

Took it for a little shakedown walk yesterday in the abandoned corner of the farmyard here and it’s all the wonderful things I remember.

The older digital Ms have a different "feel" to them, M8/M9.

Agree 100%, but different, not better. I love the 'whiring' and mechanical sound of M9 when I use it, but also love the crisp 'click' of latter models.

M8 for £650 sounds like a bargain to me.

Exactly, kinda impossible to pass up. It could still have a complete shutter failure just around the corner but can’t they all? For now, even though 8000th produces a black file, the shutter sounds and feels all correct.

That is indeed a curious shutter error I have not come across before, it's usually "all or nothing". It may be worth checking the software version as a very early update noted a shutter "bug" was part of the "fix" of course I don't recall that, and they probably didn't specify anyway, but regardless it is worth checking although most later updates were to add lenses, that stopped when the memory capacity was reached I believe. Found the reference on here but not your issue as described.
