Thanks! I shot this with a wide angle lens all the way zoomed out to 16mm. The aperture was at f/8. You get more depth of field with wider angles and of couse at 16mm with an aperture setting of f/8, you should pretty much be able to get great sharpness throughout your image. The shutter speed wasn't that great, only at 1/60 sec, but I have pretty steady hands so it wasn't a problem. As for sharpening in post, I sharpened the image first, then ran it through noise ninja to reduce the noise a little bit.
