Default Is this early blight or something else

Ive got it really bad on my celebrity's and not quite as bad on my other tomato varieties, Better Boys, Brandy wine Pink, Cherokee Purple, Kentucky Yellow Beefsteak and Big Cherry. But definitely its here. the celebrity's are planted in the old part of the garden and the rest are planted in a new part. So that might be a factor also. I did have this problem last year and probably the year before.I treated once so far with some stuff recommended by a nursury called Hi Yield. Its active ingredient is manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate. It says treat every 7 to 10 days not to exceed 4 time per year. ( I put on with a sprayer) Is there something more natural to treat this problem I have. I looked at some of the other threads here and none of them really look like this in my opinion. Thanks

could you post some close ups of those leafs, both sides, and describe the spots with some more details- flat, concave, ''bump- like'', color of spot's center and margins, etc.
also, are there any symptoms on stems?

br,
ivan

Gladly but after I posted this I went down and cut off all the infected foliage and got it away from the garden, no fun with 300 plants I might add. I went back and took these pictures. Yes there is stem damage on some, Brown spots or the the stem looks like a stick. That picture was one of the worst, they all don't look that bad, yet! I hope this helps. Thanks
