Is this tomato blight?

Am growing costoluto fiorentina tomatoes on the allotment and this has appeared on the undersides of a couple of them. The stems and foliage are unaffected as are the moneymaker plants on the same plot. Is it blight? It's not squishy; the fruit are still firm.

Hi, it doesn’t sound at all like blight. Possibly blossom end rot, but wait for other opinions! BER is caused by irregular watering, I’ve had it on a fair few of my toms this year, especially the first ones to develop.

I don’t know whether it’s possible for BER to not affect the actual blossom end... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help.

Ah, thanks. Yes, having done research I think it is blossom end rot! Annoying but at least not terminal.

Can tomatoes get scab? I thought BER the fruit would be soft from rot.
