well bad news usuall this means bacterial spot or bacterial speck.
the leaves start to die from the bottom and move up eventually killing the plant. you will get to harvest tomatoes but not as much as healthy non infected plants. this infection is a fungal disease caused by water or rain hitting the soil and bouncing up so its called a soil born disease. you can't stop the disease but it can be put in check and slowed down with a fungicide. Best to find disease tollerant type. rotate plants, 4 to6 inches of mulch or solorize soil (till area,wet area well, cover with 4mil clear plastic secure with stones brick ect and let the hot sun bring the soil up to at lease 120 degrees F hoter is better do this for a couple of days then plant and use mulch
