It does look bad, and at f/8 as well.

However, I suspect this is simply an issue of incorrect 'depth of field' (dof). You are focusing on infinity, but that's not where the subject is; nothing is going to be really sharp at 55mm when you are focusing so far past it.

Do you have a sample shot we can evaluate where you have focus set to where the subject is?

It's definitely not a DOF thing.  I have other lenses that are perfectly sharp focused at infinity.
