Got a silly question up here... was testing an older prime lens the other day and wide open it was showing some pretty bed purple fringing... Then, just for the sake of it i've mounted a UV filter on it and the images came out much cleaner...

I'm not a big fan of filters, but i'm wondering if it does actually help to limit the purple fringing effect?
