Tomato blight?

in Problem solving
I've never had a greenhouse before and have been really successful this year with many kilos of cherry tomatoes so far.  I've just noticed though that the leaves are starting to get brown patches on them.  Is this tomato blight?  Getting very worried now.  Thanks for your help.

    No need to worry - it's just what tomato leaves do. They're working hard this time of year and it's just wear and tear.
    If it were blight, you'd see black 'bruises' on the leaf stems and the main stem, followed by die back.

    Thanks! Was getting very worried that we would lose all of the tomatoes. :)

    I have exactly the same thing and was/am very worried.... so, there is nothing to worry about, and will the remaining tomatos develop OK ?

    If there are marks on the leaves as in the photos above, then it's nothing of concern.
    Feel free to post a pic for us to take a look at if you wish
