The first photo looks like Phyllostrictina capitalensis and is common on Dendrobiums. It is generally not a serious problem but causes unsightly spotting of leaves, detracting from the plant's appearance. You can't reverse this fungus but you can slow it down by removing it from the plant and using a thiophanate methyl-based fungicide. You can also use mancozeb or ferbam.
