Default Disease diagnosis

Hello all,

For the first/second time I pruned most of my tomatoes to less than three stems. It was interesting.

1. Together with perhaps the most diligent watering and fertilizing I've done (these are in containers), I got the best production I've ever hand per plant, all else being equal.

2. It seems all plants fruited much earlier than usual, but the tomatoes stayed green for ages. I assume it was the unusual heat, because as soon as it cooled a little, most started ripening.

Some of the plants now have all fruit picked, but they're ill (photos attached). I don't know if they'll bear more fruit, or if the tiny fruit they have now will mature and ripen. Before, when I pruned much less, it seems that the production was more spread out from early August to late September, but now it seems I got a lot of production at once and maybe not much from late August onwards. What do you think? And of course, what do you think these diseases are?
