I used to use one. It's handy for a quick field clean of light dust if needed. Be careful not to get anything abrasive (e.g. sand) caught in the bristles.

For situations when there's more than just a little dust to clean off, this is the prefered method that i was taught by an old camera tech:

Take one sheet (~2 x 3 inches) of disposable lens cleaning paper.
Roll it length-wise and tear it in half.
Drop a small drop of lens cleaning fluid in the center of the lens glass (facing up).
Put the two torn paper ends together perpendicular to the lens and, pressing gently, clean in a long spiral from the drop in the center of the lens outward toward the edge.
Repeat with a new piece of lens paper as needed.
