I have a nylon sensor cleaning brush. It picks up a static charge that lets it attract dust if you hit it with compressed air (NOT canned air). I use that to pick dust up from the internal VF in my Canon dSLRs.
My first film camera was a Canon AE-1 bought on eBay. It also had a dusty viewfinder. Annoying is right. Then eventually I sprung for an early model of a Nikon dslr. It was awesome.
