"matt" finish on some of my tomatoes

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

Hi people!
got an unusual one here, some of my tomatoes have, for want of a better description, a "matt" finish to them as opposed to the usual glossy finish. Can anyone help here? It affect random tomatoes on each vine. I have been growing Alicanti and Losetto F1 Hybrid in the greenhouse. The Losetto is worse.
I also have purple spots on some of the leaves which I believe is a phosphorous deficiency. Can this also cause the "matt" effect??

Look forward to hearing from you

Some of my Alicante also have a matt finish, haven't got a clue why though!

As you describe that leaves of tomatoes plants are also having some purple spots. It may be due to phosphorus deficiency or any disease can also cause it to plants.
