Black blotches/spots on fruit....

Hi,

I picked around 50 tomatoes today and unfortunately most of them have black spots on them. These are on the leaves of the plants as well, even though the plants themselves are still relatively healthy and producing. Well, they were healthy until we had a really chilly night last week which really hurt them quite a bit. This happening has been more common in the later pickings (last 3 weeks), but I have never had it before this year. Located in lower NY.

I appreciate the help! Here are some pictures:

If the black spot are in depressions on the fruit, then my guess would be Anthracnose.
