Sometimes lenses are sharper when they are stopped down a little.

The relatively slow shutter speed (1/180 second) may have allowed a little camera motion to cause some softness (depends on how steady you can hold the camera). Are you shooting RAW or JPEG - if RAW are you doing any sharpening? It appears from the EXIF you are shooting JPEG (so can you change the camera sharpening setting?). Lastly, you are shooting ISO 400, so any noise reduction may soften the image at little (EXIF shows the noise reduction is set to off).
