I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid it looks like Late Blight. It arrives with the rain and spreads very quickly in warm, damp conditions. My own outdoor tomatoes have got it, although the ones in my greenhouse are fine.
If you g00gle "tomato late blight" and look at Images you'll see lots of similar pictures.
Are these growing outdoors? Which part of the country? -
Hello & welcome to the Vine, I'm inclined to agree with Martin. If it is blight, the plant needs removing asap so as not to spread to other plants.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Yep think it's blight & you'll need to get ridown of the affected plants. All is not lost though as you can cook green tomatoes if they're not affected, I wouldn't expect them to store long though.Another happy Nutter...
